This may be why nobody is really pushing for hearings or for an independent investigation. I believe there should be a very THOROUGH investigation, and let the chips fall where they may. People should go to jail for this, but so far, the only people to have been punished are GRUNTS way down on the totum pole.

There is a very serious divide in how people at the top and people in the middle and at the bottom are treated with regard to wrongdoing. We always say we are a nation of laws, but when people in power or people with money get caught, nothing ever happens to them, or if it does, it is the exception rather than the rule. We really need to END that practice. We are not a nation of laws if the people who truly need to be punished never are. And laws were very clearly broken here. I want Cheney to go to jail. He's all over TV blackmouthing Obama. Let's get him first. I am fairly convinced he ran the whole thing anyway.
